mon between lovers sand friends all
over Europe. They bore rhyming
notices and atfectiOnate sentiment, and
the lady wiehout posv ring was looked
upon as forlorn and with but few hopes
of marriage ahead.
Shakespeare knew the posy ring, for in
the MERCHANT of Venice he makes
Gratiano and Nerissa say:
Gratano-About hoop of gold. paltry ring,
That she did give me, whose posy was,
For all the world like cutters poetry
Upon knife. Love me. leave me not"
Nerissa-What talk you Of the posy. or the
value?
You swore to me when did give it you.
That you would wear it till your hour of death.
Some of the notices on the old posy
rings are beautifully quaint. The list of
them is entirely too long to be embodied
in this article, but | cannot refrain from
giving few:
I'm thee my choice, I do rejoice"
May God above increase our love-"
Not two but one till life is done.
MY heart and I until die
LAS gold is pure, SO love is sure
LAS long as life your loving wife,
Love is sure where faith is pure"
Love is Heaven, and Heaven is love-"
Not for day but, love. for age
when this you see then think of me.'
I'm gold I'm cast to bind two FAST
MY heart is thine, true love of mine.'
The famous DR.. John Thomas. Bishop
of Lincoln in 1853, married three times
On the occasion of his fourth espousal
he put this motto on his posy ring:
If | survive
I'll make them FIVE
History does not tell us whether the
fourth Mrs. Thomas approved the SEN
timent, nor whether the matchmaking
bishop lived to carry it out.
The motto rings of o-day are patterns
of the posy rings of several centuries
ago. The inscriptions are, of course,
more modern, but the sentiment remains
the same. Of late society has gone back
to the real old English posy, and the
hands of our American bellies are being
adorned with rings that carry the same
notices that graced them in King Halls
time
There used to be custom in Rome
which made the bridegroom send the
bride before marriage ring of iron to
denote how lasting the union ought to
be, and the frugality they were to OBJ
serve together; but by and by luxury
crept in, and the iron ring was exchanged
for one of gold, which change doubtless
delighted the Roman ladies.
Numerous superstitions are connected
with the ring. The English and
French ladies of the times of the Cru
sades slept with their rings under their
pillows while their lords and lovers were
away fighting the intidel. This custom
was supposed to produce pleasant dreams
OF the absent ones, and the rings were
believed to be talismans of safety. The
Scotch lass who looks through her be-
trothal ring three times on the night be-
fore her marriage is sure to see visions
of the happiness in store for her, and
the Greek girl who finds ring will
marry before the gear is out.
The women of the uncivilized coun-
tries adorn their fingers with clumsy
rings Of bone and metal. Not satisfied
with this, they wear rings in their ears
and through the nose. Gypsy women
are fond of rings, some of which they
claim possess magical powers.
OF course there is nothing in the So
called invisible rings We are told that
the famous circlet Of Gyges rendered the

AMERICAN GIRLS AND WOMEN.
A Few of the Causes Leading TO Prema-
ture Old Age.

Here are few sensible reflections upon the
physical condition of American women well
worth reading: The want Of physical eXer-
else by American girls while growing up Is
one cause of their premature old age Much
of the insanity that affects our land is at
tributed by physicians TO want of bodily out
door exercise in childhood and the preco-
cious development of mind. The indoor
labor performed by many American women
is astonishing What affects the body in
tuences the mind. When one is worn and
irritated it acts on the other. English women
usually have better servants and more of
them. They are trained thoroughly for the
special departments of house and kitchen
work. English women walk and ride more,
marry later, and have by nature better con-
situations.
American women marry too early and live
too secluded. Many are scarcely out of
school before they have sealed down as
wives and housekeepers. The cares OF
family are devolving upon them before they
have the strength and nerve to perform them:
One reason that our female ancestors lasted
longer and had better health was that their
minds were not so much taxed nor the nerves
so high strung Most American men are so
absorbed IN business they have not time to
relieve their wives at all of domestic cares,
anu ldll 10 give lllcul oilN
friendly advice. The want of congenlahty in
the dispositions of husbands and wives, and
the customs of social life, often produce a
discord in the home circle that is detrimental
to health. With the ancents physical Gull
ture first received attention, then moral,
then mental. The American girls have
fairer fresher appearance from sixteen to
eighteen years Of age than foreigners, but
fade earlier Women know not enough of
the laws that govern health and of the dis
eases incident to their sex and children:
How often do we see peevishness manifested
by sickly wife and mother who, by a
knowledge of the laws of health and strict
observance of them, might be strong and
healthy and fitted for her responsible and
arduous duties. Some one has said: He
who is not physician at thirty is fool-a
physician to his mind as to his body, ac-
quainted with his own moral constitution

Cunning almost on the spur of the mo-
ment one might say, for the courtship
was of but two days duration, l believe,
no proper ceremonial ring was at hand.
The archbishop refused to act without
ring, and the lord and his lady were for
a while distracted. But at length the
knot was cut in an ingenious manner
and the young couple were married by
the ring of the bed.curtain, which no
doubt cut curious figure on the white
hand of the fair damsel.
Among the Armenians children are sub
jected to early betrothal by ring cere-
mony. This is done by the mothers, who
make the occasion very solemn one,
and at any time years afterward the man
can claim his bride. But once year
from the date Of the betrothal the pros
pective bride is entitled to receive an

the other, as in the circle, and that
continually forever"
The hands of female mummies found
in the tombs of Egypt are prnfusely dec
grated with rings, thus proving that ring
wearing was an established custom at a
very early day. The wealthy ladies of
Egypt wore rings on nearly every finger,
and costly rings they were, too. Their
poorer sisters used less costly circlets,
and rings formed of bronze, glass and
pottery with suitable notices were their
finger friends.
| believe it is Herrck, that delightful
poet whose verse is as beautiful, as
quaint, who sings of my lady's ring in
the following style:
And as this round
IL nowhere found
To flaw or else to sever,
So let our love
As endless prove.
And pure as gold forever.
Marriage by the ring is common in
many countries besides our own. The
Russians have two rings which are
changed three times. In the first place,
the man places the ring on the woman's
finger, then the priest changes the mans
ring and puts it on her finger, and then
priest and man join and give her the
ring for life. When Henry VIII es-
poused Anne of Cleves he sent her
ring which bore the inscription, God
send me we'll to keep" 1t was a fatal
motto, as we know, for bluff King Hail.
ere long grew tired of her and began to
look around for another Dretty victim
Wedding rings have not always been
made of metal. Necessity has caused the
invention of some singular ones. On
several occasions piece cut from the
finger of kid glove has answered
for the wedding circlet. When the gal
liant Duke Of Hamilton married Miss

owner the right road to take in travelling.
There is legend that a knight daugh-
ter once found one of these invisible
rings on the day before her wedding.
Charmed with the beauty of 1t she put II
on, and wore it to the altar. After the
ceremony she happened to turn the stone
inward, when 10! the prince saw her
vanish as it were, and rushing from the
palace he was about to throw himself into
the sea- when he was checked by the
bride discarding the ring and calling HIM
by name.
The custom of wearing locks Of hair
or pictures in rings has gone out OF style
The poisoned ring is no longer made, for
